WINDOW MANAGEMENT WITH MEMORY

Less arranging.
More working.

DeskMux borrows the speed and structure of terminal multiplexers and applies it to the Windows applications you already use.

01

Arrange real applications

Split a monitor into panes, move focus with the keyboard, resize neighboring apps, swap positions, or zoom one pane.

02

Return to your workspace

Sessions remember application membership, pane trees, monitor placement, and recent focus. Restore missing apps when you need them.

03

Built for multiple displays

Each monitor can hold its own pane canvas. DeskMux responds to taskbars, DPI changes, and disconnected displays.

04

Make it yours

Choose a built-in light or dark theme, follow Windows, or create a custom color palette in the manager.

A SHORT PATH TO FOCUS

One leader key.
Every workspace.

Choose your leader key, then use short commands to control sessions without reaching for the taskbar.

See every keyboard command
  1. 1

    Create a session

    Keep coding, research, communication, or any other task in its own named workspace.

  2. 2

    Add your applications

    Capture windows you already have open or launch saved applications directly into a pane.

  3. 3

    Switch and resume

    DeskMux brings the selected session forward and remembers its layout for the next time you return.
